Prompted by this thread, I decided to take a look at how Porsche Taycan was doing in my country. All new car sales status in our country is available on https://stats.beepbeep.ie – which is run by the industry body that represents dealers here.
Ireland is a small country with one Porsche dealer that – typical of many smaller EU nations – has high sales taxes on new cars. Porsche's by definition are a rare car here.
There has been 95 Taycan's sold so far in Ireland. For Porsche's in Ireland that is rocket ship numbers ?.
To put that number in perspective – my previous car was a Panamera Turbo S. How many of those did they sell? They sold six of those over ten (yes a decade) years. There has been five 911's sold this year – which is a spectacular number.
Though 95 Taycan's over two years might sound tiny – compared to normal Porsche volumes its an absolute winner.
One advantage of being from a small country (and an island) is that almost any configuration you pick will be rare! The chances someone else will pick my combination of Neptune Blue and Blackberry interior is very unlikely. Its almost like the regular colours are PTS here
